I heard Josh in an interview talking about coming to a point where he knows music is what he will be doing for the rest of his life. I heard this song after this and made a connection. I thing the ocean is the music business. What he sees below 'the drifters who've" gone under are those who didn't make it in this business. The stars above direction less and drifting are those who have achieved super stardom but have lives that are empty. He is just trying to stay afloat and the woman in the bed with him is his best chance at staying grounded. I have no idea if this is correct, but it's my best guess.
